Lomond School is working with economist and author Saifedean Ammous to design the program, built around the ideas found in Ammous’s work, The Bitcoin Standard. The book, first published in 2018, explains how Bitcoin compares with traditional forms of money.

At the same time, the school will begin accepting Bitcoin for tuition starting in the autumn 2025 semester.
